The NHL has suspended Buffalo Sabres left wing John Scott seven games for his head shot on Bruins right wing Loui Eriksson Oct. 23. Scott has already missed three games because he was suspended indefinitely following his match penalty. This was the first suspension of Scott's NHL career.

Eriksson suffered a concussion on the play and will miss his fourth straight game Thursday night when the Bruins host Anaheim. Eriksson is not expected to dress for Saturday’s game against the Islanders, either. His return date is unknown.
